I don't really take issue with it. Maybe it's not normal for a record label, but just look at it as a very safe pre-order.

That's the entire issue. These guys obviously don't have idea what they are doing. It's bullshit, cowardly and unfulfilling for all parties involved. If they "love the record" so much, they would invest their hard earned money into a physical product they want to make a reality.

This entire thing lacks any heart or passion whatsoever.

This pressing deffinitely needs 5 different colors of vinyl!!!! I mean, just so it's WAY more expensive to press....
